Souvenir XM1014 | Slipstream (Field-Tested)

Skin overview

This XM1014 finish is recognisable by its cool palette of greys and cyan, with the colour concentrated on the grip, pump and barrel. In Field-Tested the hydrographic layer shows scratches on the muzzle, top rail and stock edges, while the main blue pattern still carries the look. It reads as a used but well-kept shotgun.

Item type: shotgun. Mil-Spec Grade is the lowest rarity found in cases and the most common one among them.

Hydrographic: the pattern is applied as a film over the metal; wear rubs it down to the base, starting with raised parts.

Other qualities of this skin: Factory New, Minimal Wear, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. The same quality also exists as the StatTrak™ version.

Appearance in Field-Tested

The receiver is finished in dark gunmetal grey with smoky lighter swirls and a pixel-like cyan pattern running along its side, while the top rail stays dark. The barrel and magazine tube carry long turquoise streaks over grey, with bright cyan rings at the muzzle and on the front sight.

Scratches become visible on the muzzle, the front sight, the top rail and the edges of the pump ribs. The stock corners start to show the darker base underneath. The cyan grip and the long barrel streaks still look solid, so in game the scheme reads clearly with a slightly used texture.

Field-Tested quality — float range 0.15–0.38

Souvenir version

This is the Souvenir version: such copies dropped to tournament viewers in souvenir packages; the team stickers and signatures on them cannot be removed or chosen. Souvenir items never carry StatTrak™. There is also the regular version without tournament stickers.

Stickers and crafts

Stickers in cyan, teal, silver or black fit the cool palette, while white holo or foil accents echo the bright grip. Placing them along the dark receiver side keeps them visible against the grey without clashing with the blue streaks.

What to check before buying

• Check where the float sits within the wear range, since copies near the cleaner end of a grade show less damage on the muzzle and rail.
• Look at the muzzle, top rail and pump ribs first, as these parts lose paint before the rest of the shotgun.
• Inspect the cyan pistol grip, because its bright colour makes rubbed spots easy to notice in first-person view.
• Check applied stickers and name tags, as they change the look and do not always add value for every buyer.

Who the Field-Tested quality suits

• Players who want the full colour scheme with only light, honest wear.
• Buyers looking for a practical everyday XM1014 skin.
• Conclusion: a sensible middle option for regular play.
